Section 248: 436 squares
Every year, the concert of the Golden Autumn Arts Festival is one of the biggest events in the Northland music industry, and those who can appear on the stage of this concert are the best in the Northland music industry, and there is no doubt that the performance and singing skills are of the highest level, and this event will also include the most outstanding music creations in the Northland last year: do you want to know what outstanding music works emerged in the past year?
Therefore, whether you are a musician or not, as long as you are a lover of music, then this event must not be missed, which will not only bring you the best enjoyment of hearing, but also provide you with the capital to brag about in front of your friends in the following year, this conversation can even make you invincible at many balls, so many nobles are also proud to enjoy this concert and will come from thousands of miles to enjoy it.
The concert was held in Hall 1, which had been around since noon, and now there was not much time left before the concert began, and now dozens of people gathered in the annex room of Hall 1.
This annex has a direct passage to Concert Hall 1, which is often used as a waiting place for performers, and now these are gathered here for the opening performance of the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe. In addition to them, there are also some music hall staff who are making final preparations, such as checking makeup or something.
Although it is a musical performance that is about to take place, it is always a performance in front of people, so for these artists who pursue perfection, makeup should not be sloppy, after all, watching a beautiful woman play is more comfortable than watching an ugly girl play.
As the core and conductor of the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe, Norman is now standing in front of a full-length mirror, allowing a lady next to him to manipulate his body and adjust his appearance.
As you can see from the mirror, he is now wearing a tuxedo-like outfit, which is mainly white, with some decorative embellishments, and he looks very energetic overall.
The dress was the work of the Knights Templar, but in fact it was not provided by Norman in the traditional aristocratic style of the United Kingdom of Augustus.
“...... This will be the most popular Nicaro style this year, the characteristics of the clothing are to highlight the charm of the human body, Mr. Allen, your physique with this dress is very suitable, even the lining does not need to be added, so that the curve is more smooth and natural......"
The words of the lady who had manipulated his body came from his ears, and there was something strange in Norman's ears.
In fact, it was a modified version of the costume he made in Nicaro.
When he first came today, he saw that the other party asked him to change into this dress, and his heart was tight, thinking that the other party had seen his identity, but he didn't expect that it was just because this dress had too much impact on the popular clothing industry of the United Kingdom of Augustus, and in a short period of time, it burned from Nicaro to Jebel Danner like a wildfire. Of course, this is also thanks to the influence of the Golden Autumn Festival, which attracts artists from the Northland, including those led by Francis, to Jebel Danner like fireflies. However, according to his conversation with this lady, not to mention the popular trend, even in the aristocratic class, this kind of trendy clothing has not yet been popularized, and only these most daring artists have actually spread it.
As the lady beside Norman was talking, she suddenly thought of an interesting thing, smiled, and said, "Coincidentally, it is said that the artist who invented this style of clothing is still the same name as Mr. Allen, also called Allen." And his contribution to the clothing industry is as prominent as your contribution to the music industry, Mr. Allen, isn't it easy for Allen to be favored by the god of art?"
Norman smiled and didn't answer, but a strange feeling arose in his heart: he seemed to be changing the kingdom.
One of his clothes is changing the fashion trend of the kingdom's clothing, and the symphony orchestra he made for background music is going to change the music situation of the kingdom, these are all changes that will be carried out in the long run, not to change the survival of the kingdom, compared to these, he has changed the situation of the struggle for the throne before from a historical point of view.
Before he knew it, the farmer's son had turned the wheels of the kingdom in such a strange way.
This strange feeling made Norman wonder how she would react if she told the lady that she was the Allen she spoke of.
But after all, he didn't have the brains to do such a thing, it was purely to make himself uncomfortable.
With this spare time, it is better to study the magic pool more.
Of course, Norman has indeed been working on the magic pool all the time, even now when he is at the mercy of this lady to groom.
The opinion of Delvik, an expert in materials science, may have played a big role in the production of Magic Pool 1.0, whose constitution was much better than the Templars had expected, and after three days of indoctrination, Magic Pool 1.0 had not yet touched the upper limit of its mana capacity!
During these three days, Norman did not rehearse the repertoire of the show very carefully, but focused on the performance exploration of Magic Pool 1.0. And under the way he frantically infused his magic power, even if he cultivated the "Heart Sutra of Catching the Sea", he couldn't even hold on, and the speed of his spiritual power to rest in shifts couldn't keep up with the speed of generating magic power, and he entered a state of needing to sleep to restore his spirit on the first night, which shows the madness of his cultivation and infusion of magic power.
In the past three days, he has basically come down like this, and when his mental power is sufficient, he meditates frantically to generate magic power and then infuses it into the magic pool, and if the speed of rotation can't keep up, he takes a break to recover his mental power, so he rarely looks much more tired than usual these days, and those people in the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe don't know, and they think that he is doing this because he rehearses too hard.
I just don't know when it's going to be a head.
Norman thought half-painfully, half-happily.
I don't know if the Father heard his thoughts, and suddenly Norman felt that something was wrong.
His behavior of pouring mana into the mana pool seems to be a little different from usual!
It was also the first time he had experienced this feeling, and he couldn't tell what was different. It was a vague feeling, as if something was stopping him from doing it.
Yes, something was holding him back, but Norman subconsciously poured magic into the sea of magic, but the resistance grew stronger, and his skin was keenly aware of the abnormal heat generated by the magic pool!
As Norman continued to practice the Heart Sutra, his body became stronger and his skin became harder and harder, but at the same time, his skin became strangely more and more elastic and more and more acute. The wonderful fusion of these two opposite states is probably one of the magical features of the Funeral Heart Sutra, and it is also based on this that he immediately perceives the strangeness of the magic pool that fits his waist.
Almost instantly, Norman stopped pouring mana into the mana pool, and a thought flashed through his mind: The mana pool was finally full?
He carefully felt the reaction of the mana pool, and found that after he stopped pouring mana into it, the abnormal heat of the mana pool quickly subsided, and at the same time, under his concentrated experience, he noticed that a trace of mana seemed to escape from the mana pool.
Mana Pool 1.0 is really full!
The subtle psychic force that Norman had been using to count immediately stopped recording and made a summary report of his main spirit in combination with the previous data.
So far, he has injected a total of 436 mana into Mana Pool 1.0.
"Square", which was a magical way of counting power proposed by the Knights Templar.
"Your world is too backward in terms of the vague quantification of spells, which greatly hinders the development of spells, and you need a scientific spell system. ”
This was one of the most recent experiments that Lancelot had recently asked Norman to work with, and was one of several research projects that the Templars were working on at the same time.
"First we need to solve this problem in terms of the most basic aspects of magic, and we need to quantify the magic power, which is the foundation of all spell research. ”
With the Knights Templar's model architecture and Norman's cooperation, the Knights Templar created the first version of the magical power system.
This magical system is based on one of Norman's most pitiful spells, the Silent Portal, which he had thought would only counteract the sound of the door closing and opening, but he didn't expect it to work here.
The Silent Portal's mana consumption was the lowest of all the spells Norman had ever been exposed to, and the Knights Templar used this as a standard to set the Silent Portal's mana consumption at 1 and the unit as "square", and then labeled everything that involved mana based on Norman's feedback.
For example, many level 1 spells have a mana cost between 1.2 and 1.8 squares, some reach more than 2 squares, and even have 3 level 1 spells!
"So you know how pitty this spell system established by the Church of the Father is, right?"
Lancelot summed it up at this point, and duly mocked the Father's Cult, the maker of the spell system.
Using the new magical power system established by the Knights Templar, Norman's current maximum capacity of the Sea of Mana is about 14 squares, and the difference after the decimal point is no more than 0.3. Now, the total mana capacity of Mana Pool 1.0 is 436 squares......
According to the Templar system, the average magic power consumption for level 1 spells is around 1.5, level 2 is on 3 sides, and level 3 is on 6 sides.
Norman above level 3 has never cast it before, and he doesn't know how many sides, he now lives in Delvik, and it is not convenient for him to try to cast level 4 spells, after all, some of the middle and high-level spells above level 4 that he knows are the kind that have a lot of movement, and it is easy to get him into trouble, so he can only speculate that level 4 is in the 12th side. If you continue to speculate like this, level 5 is in the 24 square, level 6 is in the 48 square, level 7 is in the 96 square, level 8 is in the 192 square, and level 9 is in the 384 square.
If this calculation is not wrong, if the mana output of Mana Pool 1.0 is not wrong, then he is now able to cast a level 9 spell on his own!
Well, it's okay from the perspective of mana capacity alone, but I don't know if the mana output of the mana pool can keep up, and whether there will be a threshold - this is also what Norman is most worried about.
Although the middle and high-level spell Norman didn't dare to try it in the past two days because of the big movement, he still secretly experimented with some level 1 small spells, such as the most useless spell Silent Portal, he used the magic pool to secretly experiment once, and the experimental results showed that he could indeed call the magic power in the magic pool to cast this spell, and the idea of using the magic pool to cast spells was feasible, and the magic output speed was not any problem in this spell experiment.
But that wasn't too much of a problem, after all, the Silent Portal needed too little magic power to test the threshold of the mana pool.
You still have to find a chance to slip away and find a place where no one is around.
Norman finally made up his mind to slip away as soon as possible, as for Chen Qinghe, one of the reasons why he stayed here before...... In the past few days, with the assistance of the Marquis of Archibald, he still failed to find Chen Qinghe's whereabouts in Jebel Danner.
After getting along with each other for a few days, Chen Qinghe can be said to be really speechless to him, helped him a lot, and the two can talk very well, this is probably Norman's first friend so far, for Chen Qinghe's departure Norman can't help but feel a little melancholy, and he is also a little worried about whether he is really in trouble, but the rulers of this city can't find him, and he can't do anything.
He can only believe that Chen Qinghe has left Jebel Dana, so there is no need for him to stay here, just find a chance to sneak away after today's performance.
There are a lot of things, but in fact, to others other than Norman, it is really only a matter of a short time.
In a matter of moments, the lady in charge of Norman had dressed him up beautifully, and the rest of the orchestra was ready.
Even though they had learned the news two days in advance, before the actual performance, these participants of the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe could not help but feel excited in their hearts: this is the concert of the Golden Autumn Art Festival, and they are going to perform on it, and it is the opening performance! Since then, they have become famous all over the world and have stepped to the peak of their lives.
You know, many of them are not mainly in the direction of music, and they never imagined that they would have such a day when they were killed before, so at this moment, they still can't help but be excited and nervous when facing this kind of major juncture in their lives, Fitzgeller even asked the people around him three times if his neckline was crooked, and how nervous he was.
But the ugly daughter-in-law finally got to see her in-laws, and without giving them much time to prepare, the staff in front shouted loudly that they were on stage.
